Can you read aloud softly to yourself during LSAT?

  Probably not cause it would be disruptive of others. If you do it such that the people around you can't hear, I'd imagine you're okay.

  How has this changed with the Flex? Are proctors actively telling people to stay silent even though there is technically no one else to disturb anymore?

  @"Well there you go" i did whisper myself from time to time subconsciously, and the proctor did not say anything.
  but i think the general rule is that you're prohibited from doing it, since you're not allowed to "read aloud." https://www.lsac.org/update-coronavirus-and-lsat/lsat-flex

  i think it'd depend on how soft of a sound you're making or maybe how often you're doing it, but i wouldn't risk it and get your exam flagged.
  proctor u also says that they have a.i. technology for detecting suspected behaviors.

  It just seems like the "read aloud" rule is a relic of the traditional LSAT where you could disturb others. In the flex format, when you're alone in your own room it just seems unnecessary.

  Especially since we can't "write" on the test. My RC passages are typically full of arrows and underlining. All things we can't do on the flex.

  Is it too late to get an accommodation for my Tourettes?
